In a media district, your own website is the pitch
Clients assume an agency or production company can do for itself what it promises to do for them.
A portfolio nobody can navigate
Work buried in a slow gallery, with no way to see the brief, the role played and the result.
Nothing that proves capacity
Buyers want to see the team, the kit and the projects delivered, not adjectives.
Slow, heavy pages
Video led sites that take too long on a phone lose the enquiry before the reel plays.
Dubai Media City was founded in 2000 and sits inside TECOM Group's media cluster with Dubai Production City and Dubai Studio City. The cluster reports more than 4,000 businesses and around 40,000 professionals, and the district's community has long included global names such as CNN, Reuters and Discovery Networks alongside freelancers, startups and agencies.
That is a crowded, sophisticated audience. The websites that work there do two things well: they show the work with the context around it, meaning the brief, the role played and what happened next, and they load quickly on a phone in a meeting.
We build media businesses a site around the portfolio rather than around a homepage slogan, with a content system your producers can update themselves, because work lands weekly and nobody wants to raise a ticket to publish a new case.
A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.
We check your activity list, visa count and office need against the zone, and send the full cost in writing before you commit.
01We prepare the application, name reservation and documents, follow the file through the authority, then handle visas and the bank introduction.
02With the licence issued, the same team builds the brand, website and first campaigns, so customers can find you.

Who is based in Dubai Media City?
It is the core of TECOM Group's media cluster, which reports more than 4,000 businesses and around 40,000 professionals, from global broadcasters and agencies to freelancers and startups.
Is this the right zone for a production company?
It is one of three in the same cluster, alongside Dubai Production City and Dubai Studio City, and the right one depends on your activity and facilities. We compare them for your case before you apply.
Can freelancers set up here?
The district's community includes freelancers as well as companies. The permit route and its requirements depend on your activity, so we confirm the current position with the authority.
How do you handle showreels without slowing the site?
Video is streamed rather than embedded raw, with a still frame first, so the page is usable on a phone before anything plays.
Can our producers update the work themselves?
Yes. Case studies are a simple content type your team fills in, with training and a recorded walkthrough at handover.
